Commercial Description:
In spite of modern brewing technology, this beer is brewed according to ancient traditions. It unites, now as in the past, the best products of our soil: rich barley and fine hops.. It's refined character, with a pure and rich taste, will captivate you. It is matured at length in cellar and bottle, and is guaranteed to be brewed only from pale malts. It is traditionally top-fermented and is 100% pure. The Gouden Carolus Triple has a unique colour and a full flavour due to its well-balanced hopping. To properly savour the Golden Carolus “Triple”, pour slowly in one movement leaving the yeast deposit in the bottle. This beer may be served cool but not chilled: 7-8°C is recommended. In 2002 this beer won the Gold Award in the World Beer Cup, San Diego, USA in the “Triple” category.

Pour is a golden with a super huge white head. Aroma is lots of yeast and cloves with some fruits showing up. Flaovr is a bit lower than the aroma but there are some sour fruit and a bit of honey. So-so for the style.

About 5 years old. Aromas of light caramel, malt and some spice. Hazy, light ripe apricot color with a head that did not hang around. Starts with ripe fruit flavor, moves to Belgian candy, then on to spicy malt, ending a bit hoppy with balancing caramel / lightly roasted maltiness. Very lightly spritzy carbonation. Most everything about this tastiness is that it’s light. No one thing unreasonably dominates.

Pours a nice slightly hazy golden color. nice slightly hopped arome with hints of candi sugar, ripe citrus fruit and slight spice. the flavor is great with a nice tripel sweetness and spice, but there is a nice hoppiness from the dry-hopping. I love this freaking beer.

Competent but won’t blow you away. Blond ale-like with sweet malts and hints of corriander. Eats up the 9% with ease. (e2.60 on tap at Kulminator).

Delicious triple. Nice white head, beautiful lacing, Nose has anise notes. Taste is a little sweet for me, but delicious. The color is amber with a nice cloud.

Golden muddy coloration. High/average carbonation. Excellent cream. This beer has an uneven taste, maybe notes of honey and orange................................PORTUGUÊS: Coloração golden turva, com coisas acontecendo... Carbonatação média/alta. Ótimo creme. Essa ceva tem um gosto ímpar, que pra mim se deve às notas de mel e laranja.

On tap at Great Dane - Hilldale. Pours a beautiful hazy golden with a full head. Fruity nose followed the same in the mouth. Pears, green apples, apricots, cardamon. Slightly sour. but well balanced overall. A bit of yeast and sourdough. Nice.
